Frogtoon Music - Song Info: Farewell Transmission

"Farewell Transmission" Is The First Track Off Of Songs Ohia's Last Album/Magnolia Electric Co.'s Debut Album. It Runs For 7 22. During A Phone Interview With Justin Taylor For The Faster Times Molina Describes ‘Farewell Transmission’ As Perhaps “one Of The Most Heroic Recording Moments Of All Time” For How The Arrangement Came Together With Originally Unscheduled Musicians Live And Improvised. In His Own Words “We Put I Think About 12 People In A Room And Recorded That Song Live Completely Live And Unrehearsed. I Showed ‘em The Chord Progression They Had No Idea When It Would End And We Just Cut It. Steve Albini Did A Beautiful Job. I Noticed That At One Point When It Was A Little Too Loud Or A Little Too Soft He Came And Opened A Door To Make It Work Because It Was Just An Ambient Recording. When You Hear That Song Kick Off Everybody Knows It And What’s So Disturbing To Me Is The Way That I Ended It Is I Was Dictating To The Band And Steve—I Go “Listen. Listen. Listen.” And Then At One Point They All Stop. It’s Great.”
